fleury does not need a rest every 3 games. he is becoming a stud as a goaltender and there is no reaso to have sabourin play in his place. if anything, fleury needs to be continually playing to get into his rhythym.

ever since ron wilson left this team has opened it up big time and are very exciting to watch. last year they won games 2-1 and the game at mellon arena was the most boring penguins game i've ever seen.

but having watched them a few times and as evidence of their 7-6 win over philly some time back, i think this game will be fun to watch.

i don't think this is a good move by MT.

Fleury may not need the rest, but we need the backup sharp, too.

I would have preferred a more modest opponent, but Sabu does need some work to keep in game shape

This. If Fluery would go down for the year, or out for a long period of time last year, you have to get your backup some playing time.

If this trend continues, Fluer will be playing 80% of the games, which is fine with me. I'm sure he'll play even more at the end of the season to.

EDIT: In the notes, it says both Malkin and Talbot left practice early yesterday. I know Therrien said they're not injured, but I can't help but think they may both be a bit banged up. Hopefully it was nothing.
